The con ChillFur
2 months ago
Wow, that's it. It's time to tell you something.
This is going to be a long post about ChillFur
Recently, there was a new con in the forests of Saint Petersburg, it's named ChillFur. It was a closed con, so not many people heard about it. It was organized to test how well the organizers could manage everything and how successful the con would be. Initially, it was planned for 20-30 people, but thanks to word of mouth, the number of participants grew to almost 70, plus some guys came for just one day.
Let me tell you, everything went great. A bar, a dance floor, a pool, a sauna, food, cool atmosphere, music, hookahs—everything was fantastic! The organizers did great job! And they will decide whether to make the con open or not.
I decided to share this with you because I was asked to organize some event for the con. I've never done anything like this before, and I only had two weeks to prepare. I don't know why I agreed, but I decided to give it a try.
The best I could come up with was to organize a Squid Game, but outdoors. The grand prize was my art for the winner. This event was also a test, so everything was made from improvised materials.
All the games were kept very secret, and I even had to hide staff from prying eyes.
The first game was sugar honeycombs, just like in the series. It was a disaster; I spent three days of my life baking these cookies because they were extremely fragile and broke at the slightest touch. But I managed to bring 24 cookies to the event intact. Instead of shapes like triangle and umbrella, we had playing card symbols. Players had to choose their favorite card so they wouldn't guess the game, since most had seen the series. Out of 20 people, 13 remained "alive." The losers were shot with a water gun, lol.
The second game was blind man's bluff, where I was the host. Out of 13, only 4 were left.
The third game was a special one: find the hidden chocolate among 22 cups. The one who finds it goes to the finals and can also eliminate two participants. The person who found the chocolate did it on the first try, haha. We all advised him to go play at a casino that day.
And the last game for two was the card game "King and Beggar."
A small crowd gathered around us to see the winner. A friend played the intense music from the series, and someone filmed it. The finalists were extremely tense, very nervous, and sweating.
In the end, player number 2, Smilek_WT , won. I sincerely congratulate him. You can congratulate him too :D
Everyone enjoyed the games. I received a lot of praise, which was nice. This means I have a whole year to prepare new games, but on a larger scale, with music, a venue, and costumes!
I just wanted to share this news with you. Sorry for the long post.
I really want ChillFur to become even bigger and better. And it's very nice to become a part of it and help
P.S. While preparing those cookies, I burned my hands with sugar, and now I'm recovering. Drawing is terribly hard. But now I’m a professional confectioner for sugar honeycombs. Fuck.

Also more time to hone your skill at making sugar honeycombs. ^^
